Dear Girls

Dear Girls by Ali Wong, 216 pages

In the foreword for this book, Wong notes that she received a letter from her father after his death, telling her about his dreams for her and how much he loves her, but he didn't talk about himself, and she wishes he had. So this book is her collection of letters to her young daughters, telling them about her life and experiences, and the tips she wants to make sure they have. Sweet idea, huh?

Well, this is raunchy comedian Ali Wong we're talking about here, so the book also comes with the note that neither of her small daughters are allowed to read it until they're 21, a note that should also serve as a warning to the faint-hearted reader who unsuspectingly picks up this brutally funny and honest book. Personally, I loved the book, and I'd love to read more by Wong. But until that happens, I guess I'll just have to rewatch her Netflix specials.
